More about Ben Alder:
Ben Alder was born and raised in St. George, Utah. He took piano lessons from Jaime Stucki at age 8 until moving on to the organ at age 14 with Kathleen Briggs as his teacher. He now takes organ lessons with acclaimed keyboardist (organ, piano, etc.) in Washington County, Geoff Myers. He has played in LDS Tabernacles in St. George, Utah, Paris, Idaho, Brigham City, Utah and Logan, Utah and even was invited to play the 5 manual (keyboards) Salt Lake Tabernacle organ hosted by now deceased tabernacle organist, Robert Cundick. He loves composing, improvising and arranging hymns and songs.
Song background:

My arrangement of the Christmas hymn "O Little Town of Bethlehem" is sung in 2 melodies. The English melody, " Forrest Green" is a traditional tune that the United Kingdom sings every year at Christmas time and the famous "St. Louis" tune by Lewis H. Rednar. In the LDS hymnbook the Forest Green tune is "I Saw a Mighty Angel Fly". 

The arrangement uses both hymntunes as both men and women parts collide on verse 3 and then on the pick up measure 60 the two tunes of their harmonies take turns on assigning the choir that is straight out of the hymnbook.

This arrangement also includes a flute part which an oboe can play the flute part if flute is not available. (Visa versa.)

Your choir, ward, congregation or your choir audiences will love to hear this. Especially if you have anyone that is from the UK that would love this arrangement they are listening to.

Hope you enjoy my arrangement of the 2 melodies of "Forrest Green" and "St. Louis" on the famous Christmas text, "O Little Town of Bethlehem".
